Manchester United legend Teddy Sheringham has stated he could see Kobbie Mainoo leaving Manchester United for Leeds United. CaughtOffside were informed that Leeds are interested in signing Mainoo. Speaking to the Yorkshire Post, Sheringham said he felt a deal with Leeds could work out well for both sides, adding that it would "definitely be a plus point" if Leeds could get a player like him on loan.

Leeds United have emerged as unlikely contenders for Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The young English talent has asked to leave the Red Devils in a loan move this summer to get more playing time and prepare for the England squad for the World Cup next year. Leeds are linked with a move for Mainoo, and former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson claims it would be a 'statement signing'. Despite the interest, the transfer is unlikely to happen due to the relationship between the clubs and the timing of the transfer window.

Team Talk has reported on the potential transfer of Kobbie Mainoo to Leeds United. Kobbie Mainoo has been associated with a possible move to Leeds United. Leeds, under the management of Daniel Farke, are contemplating an ambitious effort to bring Mainoo to Elland Road, particularly following the injury to their captain, Ethan Ampadu. They are interested in arranging a loan move for Mainoo to enhance their squad with proven Premier League talent. This transfer could be controversial due to the rivalry between Leeds and Manchester United. Mainoo is reportedly open to departing Manchester United as he currently finds himself behind players like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, and Mason Mount in the selection hierarchy. He is also said to be frustrated with the ongoing contract negotiations with Manchester United, as he is seeking a significant pay rise from his current £25,000 a week to a potential £150,000 per week.
